We just went through the zone file for the .email new gTLD to see what interesting new domain registrations I found.

I couldn’t help miss the registrations by a organization out of Los Alamitos, CA named Viva Las Vegas who wound up getting a great domain in LasVegas.email, but went after and got domain names matching some trademarked and well known companies.

It should be noted all these were acquired before general avaliabity so the company paid extra to get priority registrations on these .email registrations:

Boeing.email

Chevrolet.email

CocaCola.email

ESPN.email

NFL.email

Pepsi.email

Starbucks.email

UFC.email

The company also got its matching domain vivalasvegas.email.

The comapny also got three domains that could go either way as being a brand or generic but based on these three registrations taken as a group as well as other registrations, I don’t think a URS or UDRP panel would look kindly on them:

indeed, Viva Las Vegas. They probably would have had a better time if they took their money they spend on these names to the Vegas Casinos. At least they would have gotten some free drinks while blowing their wad.

Smartest investment ever. They’re gonna make millions, billions even. Boeing, Chevrolet, Coca-Cola, etc, HA! You have no legal right to your trademarks! These guys at Viva Las Vegas are way too smrt. I mean, smart. (Simpson’s reference, for those who may not know.)
